News for Immediate Release

First Marblehead Announces Preliminary
Estimate of Up-front Fees in Upcoming
Securitization


BOSTON, MA, September 17, 2007 – The First Marblehead Corporation (NYSE: FMD) today announced its estimated up-front structural advisory fees in connection with the securitization expected to close on September 20, 2007.  The securitization will be effected in two transactions involving separate purchaser trusts, The National Collegiate Student Loan Trust (NCSLT) 2007-3 and NCSLT 2007-4.  NCSLT 2007-3 will issue approximately $1.464 billion in principal amount of asset-backed securities and acquire private student loans with a principal and accrued interest balance of approximately $1.02 billion. NCSLT 2007-4 will issue approximately $1.464 billion in principal amount of asset-backed securities and acquire private student loans with a principal and accrued interest balance of approximately $1.02 billion.  The two transactions in the aggregate will issue approximately $2.93 billion in principal amount of asset-backed securities and acquire private student loans with a principal and accrued interest balance of approximately $2.04 billion.  Ambac Assurance Corporation is expected to issue a note guaranty insurance policy in conjunction with the notes to be issued by each trust. It is a condition to the issuance of the notes that they be rated in the highest rating category of at least two rating agencies.  The ratings assigned to the offered notes will be issued based on the financial guarantee rating of Ambac Assurance Corporation as the note insurer.

In connection with the transactions, each purchaser trust has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a preliminary prospectus supplement providing additional details regarding its issuance of asset-backed securities.

At the closing of the NCSLT 2007-3 securitization, First Marblehead expects to receive up-front structural advisory fees of approximately $88.6 million, or 8.7% of the total private student loan balance securitized.  At the closing of the NCSLT 2007-4 securitization, First Marblehead expects to receive up-front structural advisory fees of approximately $88.5 million, or 8.7% of the total private student loan balance securitized.  For the two transactions together, First Marblehead expects to receive approximately $177.1 million, in up-front structural advisory fees.  These up-front fee estimates are preliminary and subject to change based on a number of factors, including the variance, if any, between the estimated and actual amount of private student loans purchased by the trusts at the time of closing, as well as the pricing of the debt securities to be issued, which has not yet been completed.  First Marblehead expects that the up-front structural advisory fee will comprise more than 55% of total revenues for the transaction.  First Marblehead will announce the discounted present value of its additional structural advisory fees and residual revenue related to the securitization at approximately the time of closing.

The loans to be securitized in the transactions were originated by several different banks under various loan programs that were structured with the assistance of First Marblehead.  NCSLT 2007-3 expects that approximately 81% of the loans to be purchased by it at closing will be “Direct-to-Consumer” loans and that the remaining 19% of the loans to be purchased by it at closing will be “School Channel” loans.  NCSLT 2007-4 expects that approximately 81% of the loans to be purchased by it at closing will be “Direct-to-Consumer” loans and that the remaining 19% of the loans to be purchased by it at closing will be “School Channel” loans.

STRUCTURING ADVISORY AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated as of September 20, 2007, between The National Collegiate Student Loan Trust 2007-4, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”), and The First Marblehead Corporation (the “Advisor”).
1.  Appointment.  The Trust hereby appoints the Advisor, and the Advisor hereby agrees to act, as structuring advisor to the Trust in connection with the Trust’s issuance of its Student Loan Asset Backed Notes (the “Notes”) pursuant to that certain Indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of September 1, 2007, between the Trust and U.S. Bank National Association, as Indenture Trustee, under the terms and conditions set forth herein.  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Indenture and the Trust Agreement dated as of September 20, 2007 by and among The National Collegiate Funding LLC, Wilmington Trust Company, as Owner Trustee, and The Education Resources Institute, Inc.
2.  Duties of Advisor.
2.1.  Consulting Services.  The Advisor shall provide the Trust with the following services:
(i)  Advise the Trust with respect to the structuring of the Notes and the related transactions;
(ii)  Engage, coordinate and evaluate the efforts of the service providers to the Trust, including without limitation, program lenders, consumer and securitization lawyers, accountants and auditors, trustees and providers of loan servicing, collection and origination services;
(iii)  Monitor the transmission of loan data between borrower, participating school, loan originator and program lender; and
(iv)  Work with potential financing sources, rating agencies and financial guaranty insurers, utilizing proprietary cash flow modeling, so as to optimize the economics of securitization.
2.2.  Limitations on the Advisor’s Powers.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Advisor’s responsibilities are consultative only, and the Advisor shall have no power to take any action on behalf of the Trust, or to cause the Trust to be responsible for taking any action.
3.  Compensation of Advisor.  As compensation for the performance of the Advisor’s obligations under this Agreement and as reimbursement for its expenses related thereto, the Advisor shall be entitled to a Structuring Advisory Fee payable pursuant to the priorities set forth in the Indenture and the Trust Agreement as follows:
3.1.  $88,424,309 payable on the Closing Date; and
3.2.  An amount payable on each Distribution Date at a rate equal to 1/12 of 0.15% of the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Financed Student Loans owned by the Trust as of the last day of the previous calendar month (and in the case of the payment of such amount on the first Distribution Date as of the Closing Date) pursuant to the priorities set forth in the Indenture and the Trust Agreement.  To the extent that any payment is not made when due, all accrued and unpaid amounts shall bear interest at a rate equal to One-Month LIBOR plus 1.50%, which will be reset in the same manner as the Applicable Index for the Class A Notes under the Indenture.
4.  Liability; Indemnity.  The Advisor is not and never shall be liable to any creditor of the Trust.  In addition to the compensation and expenses that the Trust has agreed to pay for the services to be performed pursuant to this Agreement, the Trust agrees:  (i) to indemnify and hold the Advisor (which term for the purposes of this Agreement includes its controlling persons, members, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives) harmless against and from all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several (and all action, claims, proceeds and investigations in respect thereof), to which the Advisor may become subject in connection with its performance of the services described in this Agreement, (ii) that the Advisor will not be culpable for and will have no liability to the Trust for or with respect to any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, of the Trust incurred in connection with the Advisor’s performance of the services described in this Agreement, and (iii) in each case, to reimburse the Advisor for all reasonable legal and other out-of-pocket expenses (including the cost of investigation and preparation) as and when incurred by the Advisor arising out of or in connection with any action, claim, proceeding or investigation (whether initiated or conducted by the Trust or any other party) in connection therewith, whether or not resulting in any liability (and whether or not the Advisor is a defendant in, or target of, any such action, claim, proceeding or investigation); provided, however, that the Trust shall not be liable to the Advisor pursuant to clauses (i) and (iii) above and the Trust’s exculpation of the Advisor pursuant to clause (ii) above shall not apply in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability is found in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Advisor or any other indemnified person hereunder or a material breach of this Agreement, in which case any amounts paid and any expenses reimbursed under clause (iii) above shall be refunded.  If for any reason the foregoing indemnification (including reimbursement pursuant to clause (iii) above) or the exculpation is unavailable to the Advisor or insufficient to hold it harmless (other than by reason of the proviso to the preceding sentence), then the Trust shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Advisor as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Trust on the one hand and the Advisor on the other hand but also the relative fault of the Trust and the Advisor as well as any relevant equitable considerations, provided that, in no event, will the Advisor’s aggregate contribution hereunder exceed the amount of compensation actually received by the Advisor pursuant to this Agreement.  The indemnity, exculpation, reimbursement and contribution obligations of the Trust under this paragraph shall be paid pursuant to and in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 8.02(d)(16) of the Indenture and shall be in addition to any liability which the Trust may otherwise have, shall survive any termination of this Agreement and shall be binding upon and extend to the benefit of any successors, assigns and representatives of the Trust and the Advisor.
